LIVING!

To recognize the things worth living for we see the richness of our life right here, right now.  We see the significance of our life, how much we matter when we see with eyes and heart wide open the significance of each person we are privileged to journey with and how much they matter – all they give us and have given us by simply being who they are and all we give them by simply being who we are.  The exchange of love is essential fueling our lives through the best of times and the worst of times, through the seasons ever-changing that can terrify and exhilarate us – all leading us home and revealing more of us.  Side by side, hand in hand, heart to heart, one soul in this together, we fortify each other with our Presence, our kind and assuring words, mirroring the Truth and reminding each other the Beauty we are and life is.  Ohhh, never under estimate all that lies within you and the impact you have on this world.  Your love is the miracle – always!  The power of your love – so GREAT! 

The invitation this day is to acknowledge and affirm those who make life magnificent, worth living for through the ebbs and flows, experiencing the joys and the pains.  Thank the charming gardeners who make your soul blossom when you feel like a withered flower and when you feel like a prized rose in full bloom.  Tell them:  You are the Greatest!  You da BEST!  You make life worth living!  Say it out loud – face to face, eye to eye if possible.  Or go into your heart and speak through the written word via a handwritten letter, a text or email trusting the vibration will pour from you into them even from afar. Sharing how you feel, you will experience another level of connection made possible by this depth of soul that knows the things worth living for aren’t actually things; it is all about this Love we exchange dancing this sacred dance together.

Believing

And

We GET

To LIVE

Happily Ever After

Again

And

Again

And

Again.

Oh my gosh, I just have to shout it from the mountain tops to the whole of this world:  PLEASE!  PLEASE!  PLEASE! Don’t give up on your happy!  We have become a culture that appears to have it all but we stand in this life starving to know who we are and to be known; believing happiness is about collecting things and feeling trapped by the things we have accumulated.  We have given up on our happy.  We have stopped believing it is possible to be happy except under certain conditions chasing an idea and delaying what is ours for the claiming every moment.  We get annoyed by happy people inquisitively asking:  Why are you so happy?  We say crazy stuff like: We were never promised blue skies! stuck in old paradigms of suffering and sacrifice that have played out and must go.  And while I am not in denial that horrific things happen as we make our way on this journey and we must grieve and experience the feelings around those events; we can still find our way to happy, making choices that remind us of the Beauty we are and life is; consciously connecting to this sense of aliveness that comes from a light heart – giggling and laughing all day at anything and everything because life is so damn good even when it sucks and there is no promise of tomorrow.  There is a belief I hold absolute that in the end, the greatest tragedy in reviewing our life will be seeing all the missed opportunities to be happy and soak up the joy that pours through every moment without ceasing.

The invitation this day is to cultivate your happy!  As you brush your teeth, look in the mirror, eye to eye with your Self, commit to being happy and finding your way to happy again and again.  Slay those dragons – old beliefs and habits that keep your happy at bay by shining the light on the moments being fully aware that you have the power to create a happy life.  Lighten your heart thinking of all the joy bringers in your life – those who are easy to love and fill you with a sense of what matters most from your connection that inspires and uplifts.  Do what ya’ gotta’ do out of necessity and plan to do things that excite the hell out of you and make your heart say:  Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!   Your happy is essential to your health, that sense of wholeness with vitality springing: mind, body, heart and soul; and your health is indeed the truest wealth tasting the sweetness, allowing the abundance that is, feeling the richness of the simple moments that are actually profound beyond measure.  Take my hand and together, let’s fly into the magic of life ever-flowing, living this dream wide awake, believing with all of us that we get to live happily ever again and again for as long as it lasts.  There is no greater contribution to this world than your happy heart that loves life fiercely come what may.
